Chrissy Teigen is self-conscious about her body

The model isn’t comfortable in a bikini after having a baby

Chrissy Teigen admitted she feels self-conscious about her post-baby body and is not ready for professional photoshoots just yet. The 30-year-old model – who has daughter Luna with husband John Legend – is settling for clothes that make her “a little more confident” as a result.

She explained to People magazine: “Every shoot I have right now, I request like all one-pieces please or anything high-waisted. I’m still definitely not comfortable. I think I’m fine in clothes. But am I comfortable naked or in a bikini? Not exactly yet. I really just try to wear things that make me feel a little more confident.”

Teigen had recently admitted that raising a child has gradually changed her relationship with her husband, blatantly admitting they sometimes annoy one another.

“Make sure that you have such a strong bond with your partner, too, because there are days you’re gonna look over at him – or her – and be like, ‘Ugh’. You gotta have that strong bond so you can bounce back from it. Make sure you’re in love or at least, I don’t know, pretend.”

She also provided some advice to those who are currently expecting children, adding: “Take a class or two. I didn’t and I kinda wish I did sometimes. But it makes everything fun and exciting because, man, kids they keep you on your toes.”

The model acknowledged how unpredictable children can be, urging parents to try their best and adjust.

She continued: “Just know that once you think everything is going perfectly and nothing is wrong, they’re going to flip it on you. And you have to be really ready to just adjust and laugh at it.”

Finally, the new mom says her daily routines have taken a backseat since having a child.

She shared: “I’ve always liked to appear like everything is a little more effortless than it is. But I definitely just don’t have the time, obviously … It’s so hard. There’s no time. It’s like cooking now. I love cooking, I love showering, I love cooking, but there’s no time.”
